Qualifying rounds for the STX Baltimore Putting Championship are open to the public, starting Sunday at Baltimore's Classic Five courses, including Mount Pleasant. For more info, click here.

THE HEAT WILL BE BACK NEXT WEEK WITH TEMPERATURES AROUND 90 DEGREES. AVA MARIE IS GETTING READY FOR THE BALTIMORE PUTTING CHALLENGE. I GAVE HER A SECRET TIP. DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME. THE PRESSURE IS ON. TONY GAVE ME SOME TIPS. HE SAID TO LOOK DOWN AT THE BALL. WE'RE GETTING READY FOR THE STX PUTTING CHAMPIONSHIP. BRIAN IS GIVING ME SOME TIPS. THE KEY IS GETTING A GOOD FIRST STANCE AND KEEPING YOUR HANDS LOCKED SO THEY DON'T WIGGLE AROUND. WORK THE PUTTER WITH OUR SHOULDERS. THE TECHNIQUES ? TURN YOUR SHOULDER TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT. LIKE A PENDULUM. RIGHT ON THE LIP. I'M OVER THINKING IT NOW. GET SET UP . THERE YOU GO. AIM IS GOOD AGAIN. TWO OUT OF FOUR. MAKE SURE YOU GET OUT EARLY AND PRACTICE ON THE GREENS SO YOU CAN GET USED TO THE DISTANCE. THIS IS COMING UP THIS WEEKEND AT FIVE DIFFERENT GOLF COURSES ACROSS THE REGION INCLUDING ON MOUNT PLEASANT. I THINK I HAVE A FAIR SHOT ALREADY.
